在面臨挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候，我們沒(méi)有屈服，我們沒(méi)有逃避也沒(méi)有猶豫，我們腳踏實(shí)地、心懷信仰，秉承了寶貴的自由權(quán)利并將其安全地交到了下一代的手中。下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編為大家整理的2013年奧巴馬就職演講稿，希望大家能夠從中有所收獲!

　　2013年奧巴馬就職演講稿（中英對(duì)照）

　　My fellow citizens:

　　我的同胞們：

　　I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

　　今天我站在這里，看到眼前面臨的重大任務(wù)，深感卑微。我感謝你們對(duì)我的信任，也知道先輩們?yōu)榱诉@個(gè)國(guó)家所作的犧牲。我要感謝布什總統(tǒng)為國(guó)家做出的貢獻(xiàn)，以及感謝他在兩屆政府過(guò)渡期間給與的慷慨協(xié)作。

　　Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

　　迄今為止，已經(jīng)有44個(gè)美國(guó)總統(tǒng)宣誓就職?？偨y(tǒng)的宣誓有時(shí)面對(duì)的是國(guó)家的和平繁榮，但通常面臨的是烏云密布的緊張形勢(shì)。在緊張的形勢(shì)中，支持美國(guó)前進(jìn)的不僅僅是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的能力和遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)，也在于美國(guó)人民對(duì)國(guó)家先驅(qū)者理想的信仰，以及對(duì)美國(guó)立國(guó)文件的忠誠(chéng)。

　　So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

　　前輩們?nèi)绱?，我們這一代美國(guó)人也要如此。

　　That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our healthcare is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

　　現(xiàn)在我們都深知，我們身處危機(jī)之中。我們的國(guó)家在戰(zhàn)斗，對(duì)手是影響深遠(yuǎn)的暴力和憎恨;國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)也受到嚴(yán)重的削弱，原因雖有一些人的貪婪和不負(fù)責(zé)任，但更為重要的是我們作為一個(gè)整體在一些重大問(wèn)題上決策失誤，同時(shí)也未能做好應(yīng)對(duì)新時(shí)代的準(zhǔn)備。我們的人民正在失去家園，失去工作，很多企業(yè)倒閉。社會(huì)的醫(yī)療過(guò)于昂貴、學(xué)校教育讓許多人失望，而且每天都會(huì)有新的證據(jù)顯示，我們利用能源的方式助長(zhǎng)了我們的敵對(duì)勢(shì)力，同時(shí)也威脅著我們的星球。

　　These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

　　統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)的指標(biāo)傳達(dá)著危機(jī)的消息。危機(jī)難以測(cè)量，但更難以測(cè)量的是其對(duì)美國(guó)人國(guó)家自信的侵蝕--現(xiàn)在一種認(rèn)為美國(guó)衰落不可避免，我們的下一代必須低調(diào)的言論正在吞噬著人們的自信。

　　Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.

　　今天我要說(shuō)，我們的確面臨著很多嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)，而且在短期內(nèi)不大可能輕易解決。但是我們要相信，我們一定會(huì)度過(guò)難關(guān)。

　　On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

　　今天，我們?cè)谶@里齊聚一堂，因?yàn)槲覀儜?zhàn)勝恐懼選擇了希望，摒棄了沖突和矛盾而選擇了團(tuán)結(jié)。

　　On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

　　今天，我們宣布要為無(wú)謂的摩擦、不實(shí)的承諾和指責(zé)畫上句號(hào)，我們要打破牽制美國(guó)政治發(fā)展的若干陳舊教條。

　　We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

　　美國(guó)仍是一個(gè)年輕的國(guó)家，借用《圣經(jīng)》的話說(shuō)，放棄幼稚的時(shí)代已經(jīng)到來(lái)了。重拾堅(jiān)韌精神的時(shí)代已經(jīng)到來(lái)，我們要為歷史作出更好的選擇，我們要秉承歷史賦予的寶貴權(quán)利，秉承那種代代相傳的高貴理念：上帝賦予我們每個(gè)人以平等和自由，以及每個(gè)人盡全力去追求幸福的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

　　在重申我們國(guó)家偉大之處的同時(shí)，我們深知偉大從來(lái)不是上天賜予的，偉大需要努力贏得。(我們的民族一路走來(lái))，這旅途之中從未有過(guò)捷徑或者妥協(xié)，這旅途也不適合膽怯之人、或者愛(ài)安逸勝過(guò)愛(ài)工作之人、或者單單追求名利之人。這條路是勇于承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)者之路，是實(shí)干家、創(chuàng)造者之路。這其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人卻在默默無(wú)聞地工作著。正是這些人帶領(lǐng)我們走過(guò)了漫長(zhǎng)崎嶇的旅行，帶領(lǐng)我們走向富強(qiáng)和自由。

　　For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.

　　For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the west; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.

　　For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.

　　為了我們，先輩們帶著微薄的細(xì)軟，橫渡大洋，尋找新生活;為了我們，先輩們?nèi)倘柝?fù)重，用血汗?jié)茶T工廠;為了我們，先輩們?cè)诨氖彽奈鞑看蟮匦燎诟鳎ň铀l(xiāng);為了我們，先輩們奔赴(獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二戰(zhàn)中的)諾曼底、Khe Sahn，他們征戰(zhàn)、死去。
